I don't understand why so many African Americans are in her corner. Although Bill Clinton was considered by some to the "first black president", I don't remember anyone referring to Hillary as the "first black First Lady". What has she done for us?

If you look her backgroud years ago she was a staunch conservative, I do not trust Hillary, it is sickening to see so many Black folks kissing her ass~!

As a child, Hillary Rodham was involved in many activities at church and at her public school in Park Ridge. She participated in a variety of sports and earned awards as a Brownie and Girl Scout.[2] She attended Maine East High School, where she had participated in student council, the debating team and the National Honor Society. Before graduating from Maine South High School, she received the school's first social science award. Raised in a politically conservative family,[3] she volunteered for Republican candidate Barry Goldwater in the United States presidential election of 1964.[4] Her parents encouraged her to pursue the career of her choice.[5]
In 1965, Rodham enrolled in Wellesley College. She became active in politics and served as the president of the Wellesley College Chapter of the College Republicans. In her junior year, Rodham was affected by the death of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., whom she had met in person in 1962.[2] She attended the Wellesley in Washington program at the urging of Professor Alan Schechter, for whom she would write a senior thesis about the tactics of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky[6] that later became the subject of mystery. Around this time, she decided to join the Democratic Party. In 1969, Rodham graduated with departmental honors in political science. She became the first student in Wellesley College history to deliver their commencement address.[7] According to reports by the Associated Press, her speech received a standing ovation lasting seven minutes.[8] She was featured in an article published in Life magazine, due to the response to a part of her speech that criticized Senator Edward Brooke, who had spoken before her at the commencement.[2]

People can vote for whomever they want. I understand and respect that. But for the first time in history there is a real chance of putting a Black man in the White House and Black folks are rejecting him. I guarantee that if there was a Latino candidate as popular as Barack Obama every Latino (legal and illegal) would be behind that candidate. They’d be in the streets everyday showing their support. But Black people…Black people can’t work together and they don’t support each other. Sometimes I really believe that we hate ourselves just as much if not more than White people do. It’s sickening.

They are in her corner because she is the next best thing to Bill and as a woman I would be proud to see her in there. But I think blacks are thinking that she will run the country thru him, he will be living back in da house again. I thought I would vote for Hillary but I gotta back my bro.

Hillary has done nothing, and she won't get my vote. Too liberal.
Then again, I've been accused of having conservative political leanings anyways...

Although Bill Clinton was considered by some to the "first black president", I don't remember anyone referring to Hillary as the "first black First Lady". What has she done for us? She is still married to Bill. I believe, that some of us think, if she is in office, our economic situations, will drastically change!!. It's not. Thats why, it's sooo IMPORTANT, to hear what they are saying!!!. I haven't heard anything, yet to move me to vote for anybody yet. I can't wait until the first debate!!!

[/quote] Remember this name BLAQUE; BILL RICHARDSON,GOVERNOR of one of the South West states. He's Spanish, and has been everything, you can think of in politics.AMBASSADORR, I believe either a senator or DA. He has everything on paper, Barack wish he could use!!. I call him the ANTI OBAMA. Because if he should, find away, to hurt HILARY, and he has said(OBAMA) on Letterman, I believe!!! he ain't running for VICE PRESIDENT!!! Bill Richardson, would be the OBVIOUS choice!! for Hilary. The Republicans, used them, and placed many of there Spanishh supporters in HIGH OFFICE!! and Like BILL, we remember the people who help us. Plus Hilary supports Illegal immigration, and wants to legalizee them!!!. After all the up comming debates are over, I wondering , who he would choose for a running mate?
